Artist statement

The questioning of the image as an image, as a visual narrative and as a supposed construction of Reality is a central aspect of my artistic practice. The image – in my case this often means the photographic image – has long since left the representation of reality behind and consciously intervenes in the construction of the world as well as its perception and changes it in various areas. The world of images in which we live takes possession of our thoughts, feelings and expectations and determines how we see the world. – There is hardly a place where we have not been through pictures before we physically enter it for the first time. This creates a certain uniqueness and one-dimensionality of perception. In and with my work, I try to address these actual shortenings of perception to give back to the blur, to question familiar concepts of thinking and perception and traditional/known narratives to complement other, new ones.
